I just see that little girl's face and I just get so happy for you! SO SOON! You will be there soon, and that beautiful little darling will FINALLY be in your arms. Sigh. Makes you kind of tear up, doesn't it? :-)
Karen - the main thing I learned from Laurie about bonding was to have skin on skin contact. She recommended that we take our babies shirts off and ours while feeding them. She said that there has been something proven that skin on skin contact speeds up the bonding process. The more I think about it, the more time we'll be spending in our room. It would be nice to get all those tours in but our number one focus is going to be Olivia. If that means missing all the tours than that's what we'll have to do. We are just going to play everything by ear.
My name is Tammy and my husband and I are in group 272 - we actually live in Ancaster!

The good thing about your flight time is that you won't have to be in China and know she is that close. It's going to be brutal!!!!
